TheAEW Fight Forevergame was announcednot long after the formation of the promotion itself. It was teased that the game would be taking inspiration from classic Nintendo 64-era wrestling games likeWWF No Mercy, as opposed to the more realistic simulator-styleWWE 2Kseries. After years of waiting,AEW Fight Foreverwas finally released in 2023 to mixed reviews and general disinterest from fans. This is evidenced by the game’s all-time peak player count of 1,428 on Steam, and the fact that its peak player count in the past 24 hours was a mere 13 players.
It’s possible thatAEW Fight Forever’s new price drop will give its player count a boost. Starting February 5,AEW Fight Foreveris beingdiscounted to $29.99at “participating retailers.” The price drop is supposed to apply to all versions of the game, meaning fans should be able to getFight Forevercheap no matter if they’re playing on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X,Nintendo Switch, or PC. The game’s price has yet to be discounted on digital storefronts, and it’s unclear if it will be, but fans should now be able to get physical copies much cheaper at least.

This move is just the latest attempt to bring players toAEW Fight Forever. Despite the game’s low player count,AEW Fight Foreverhas been supported post-launch with DLC packs that have added new wrestlers to the roster, not to mention the free update that added theStadium Stampede battle royale modeto the game.
